It is important to note that women have a higher risk of [[UTI]]. This is because the shorter [[urethra]] offers less protection via the immunological function of the [[urethra]]'s [[mucosa]]l lining. By the same observation we see that the tubular tip of the [[foreskin]] and its [[mucosa]]l lining act as an extension of the [[urethra]], hence providing more of that same protection via [[mucosa]] immunology and the adherence of antibacterial substances in breast milk. Understandably, removal of the [[foreskin]] destroys all this functionality. | It is important to note that women have a higher risk of [[UTI]].
